I have no explanation for that. What I find to be very disturbing, is that they make a business imprisoning juveniles for ridiculous reasons. I don't know the state that's involved, nor do I recall the ridiculous crimes. Does anyone know more about this, I just have some loose memories about a documentary I watched on TV some time ago.

It's the "some poor potential innocent's life is in your hands" exploratory erection. Can't finish that off too quickly.

More importantly, why is the US the last country in the West to still have the ancient punishment of death?

I love this guy! Georgio A. Tsoukalos! Ancient Astonaut Theorist! This guy is awesome. But he's not American. He was born in Europe, I believe.

And not make the switch to the metric system.

I know the reason for this one! My chemistry professor told us at the beginning of the semester. It would cost the country too much money to switch over all the gas pumps, containers of milk and water, thermometers and other devices that measure in the stupid system we have employed.
I forget the amounts, but they didn't change the system 50 years ago because it cost too much then. They don't change it now because it would cost many times more than that because of all the new technology calibrated to measure in the American system.
